Strawberry Jam Filled Cupcakes

These Strawberry Jam Filled Cupcakeshave it going on, on so many levels! From the sweet jam filling to the white chocolate ganache dipped top and fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting! Cupcakes don’t get any more delicious than this!

The strawberry filling in these Strawberry Jam Filled Cupcakes is definitely delicious but there is much more to these cupcakes that put them over the top! The deliciousness starts with a moist, tender vanilla cupcake. The center is scooped out and filled with a dollop of strawberry jam. Then the top of the cupcake is dipped in sweet and creamy white chocolate ganache. The finishing touch is a strawberry cream cheese frosting made with a fresh strawberry puree. One bite and your in love!

I made these last weekend along with my Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Ganache Filling for our annual family Christmas party and they were a big hit! I wanted to make sure I had something for the chocolate lovers, vanilla lovers and strawberry lovers. These guys definitely did the trick!

An added bonus for me was that there were a few extra that didn’t fit on my cupcake tray. They had to patiently wait at home to be devoured the next day!

For the white chocolate ganache

Heat heavy cream in a small sauce pan until you see steam begin to rise from the surface. Just before it begins to boil remove from heat and add white chocolate chips. Let sit for one minute. Stir with a whisk until chocolate and cream are well combined and no more lumps are present. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment whip cream cheese and butter on medium high speed for 3 minutes.

Turn the mixer off and add the confectioner sugar. Cover your bowl with a clean dish towel and turn mixer on low speed for about 1 minute. Turn on medium high speed and mix well scraping down sides.

Put your cupcakes together

Scoop a small portion out of the center of each cupcake.

Holding onto the base of your cupcake flip upside down and dip the top in your white chocolate ganache rotating as you do so. Lift cupcake up and let excess drip off. Turn cupcake upright and place on tray.
